Farmall M umbrella 4-bar linkage

jil4ever · May 23, 2016

I have what appears to be an original IHC 4-bar linkage umbrella that mounts to the steering post. The umbrella can be stood up straight and closed, or opened and then adjusted downward toward the operator at whatever height he wants. My deceased Dad had this for as long as I remember. I'm looking to replace the canvas cover. The cover had triangular leather pieces sewed into the corners with what appears to be a brass grommet in it. The cover goes over the top of the umbrella frame. Does anyone know where I might get a replacement?

Try Heritage Farm Power. I think they have what your looking for.

Those were great umbrellas just look up tractor umbrellas as there are palces to get new covers.

Thanks D beatty, their measurements and features appear that they will fit exactly. I was going to have one made, but it wouldn't have had the IH logo. The above post was my first post, and I got your reply the same day. Thanks to all of you that continue to share your knowledge for the preservation of these old tractors.

This will be going on a one-owner (bought by my Dad, still owned by my Mom) 1946 Farmall 'M'.

It sounds like you have a Shade Master umbrella. I have a couple of these mounted on some Molines. I purchased replacement canvases from Heritage Farm Power and had to shorten the rods a little to get it to fit.

Never owned a Johnny Pop, but all of our Farmalls had JD umbrellas. Don't know why, my dad liked em.
